Liken planus LP is a common inflammatory skin disease. Recently it has been that narrow-band ultraviolet B UVB phototherapy is effective in the treatment of LP. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of narrow-band UVB treatment in patients with generalized LP.STEMS: In our study, the data of patients diagnosed with LP in the phototherapy unit of our clinic between January 2009 and December 2012 were examined retrospectively. Clinical response, respectively, when healing in lesions is 90 percent and above, 51-89 percent, 21-50 percent and below 20 percent, was called "complete response", "parcial response", "low response" or "no response". The patient’s disease period varied from 1 to 84 months, and 30% of patients had an additional systemic disease. Twelve patients received 60% full response, five patients received 25% partial response, one patient received 5% less response, but two patients received 10% no response. The average total number of sessions was 45.2 ± 16.4 18-80 and the total cumulative dose average was 54.6 ± 34.2 J/cm2. Clinical full response was achieved in an average of 37.7 24-50 sessions. Acute side effects associated with phototherapy were observed in only three patients. Result: Dar-bant UVB phototherapy is an effective and reliable method of treatment in the treatment of generalized LP.
